Today, during recess at Onomi Elementary, a first grade girl said to me, ”アンディしぇんしぇい、あしょびましょ!” (Andy-sensei, let's play!). The way she said it was SO cute!
Sometimes elementary school kids are adorable beyond all comprehension. Especially at Onomi. Must be something in the water.
Kagoshima dialect word time:
ラッフル(raffuru)-->黒板消し(kokuban keshi)-->blackboard eraser
I learned this some time ago, when I was teaching stationery at an elementary school. I held up a blackboard eraser, and some of the students said, "raffuru". The teacher let out a little laugh and said, "That's in the Kagoshima dialect!"
